Sean Penn and Ann Lee’s nonprofit Community Organized Relief Effort (CORE) pivoted early in the COVID-19 pandemic to help assist Los Angeles with the city’s testing efforts.
Now, the organization is pivoting once again to offer private, for-profit COVID-19 testing services to film and TV productions.
Per an announcement from CORE, 100 percent of the net profits from the new service will be funneled back to the organization to help support its community testing programs which provide free COVID-19 testing for at-risk and low-income communities.
Los Angeles productions will be the first to access the service with an eye on expansion to other production hubs in the United States.
